Could this be used for a katana (sword) or large knife if used correctly?

Yes, if it already has an edge on it and you are good at sharpening with a stone.
329
I would not recommend it for that. I'm a sushi chef and I sharpen 8 to 12 inch knives on it. That is about the maximum size knife that you can comfortably sharpen on this stone.

Yes it could be as long as you keep your stone good and wet and free of collectingdebree. Make sure to take your time

I don't really know, but I don't see why not. I've used it on my large kitchen knives and it worked really well. You'll just have to adjust your motion to match the size of the blade to the available surface area of the stone. Good luck!

You could use it for a large knife, but the grit is not fine enough to create the kind of edge that you probably want for a katana. I might start a katana on this stone, but you'll want to finish it on an 8k/10k grit. And you'll also want plenty of experience sharpening blades before you risk your sword's edge.

Hold the sword in your hand, edge side up, the point resting on the bench. Hold the stone in your hand, and run the the stone along the length of the blade (pushing the stone down into the blade towards the spine). Do five strokes in each side, then four strokes, then three... down to one stroke on each side. If your blade is already sharp to being with, use the fine side for a touch up. If your blade is a little dull, use the course, then the fine side. Safer to move the stone to sharpen, rather than the blade. As for angle, you'll get the feel...should feel like it's polishing the edge (except you hear that metal "ting" as you pass the stone over the blade!). Best of luck!

Well I use it more for display, but it is pretty heavy and sturdy and sharp at the end. My guess would be if you are very careful it wouldn't break. I saw a video of someone using the sword to chop a wooden beam in half, but then again it is a cosplaying sword

I don't have such knife. But the biggest slot is 2 1/2"wide and 10" length. I guess it can be fit in

Without a question, it can be used, but it would take a lot of work. You would need to do the machete in segments, holding the field work sharpener in your and working the blade in short segments. The Work Sharp electric belt sharpener would be a much better choice for sharpening large blades. The field sharpener works great for knives with blades up to six or seven inches. I have even used mine to touch up an eight inch chef's knife with no problems.

I wouldn't think that would be a problem. The handles sit up on the block Just the blade goes down inside. It holds large and small knives. I love mine.

It could, but it is not at the end of the knife. it may be too small for thicker materials.

No.This knife roll is best suited for small to medium knives. If you need a sword bag look for one specifiably for martial arts gear.
2108591
Definitely not, It would fit at the top near the hilt probably, but it would not work as the blade gets wider.
1108688
yes it would. I wouldn't use it to chop wood. but it is a reasonably good sword for show.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea, the angle of sharpening is set for US style knives and Santoku knives are usually a different angle.

It would work fine but would need a way to swivel so it would lay flat against the chest. It will hold more than fine tip up as the sheath holds the knife too tightly. It is a heavy knife but I like it and wont fall out tip up.

Its a razor sharp piece of steel, good quality. So yes I wouldnt have a problem using it for such purposes.
1888747
Yes, I believe so. Although, probably easier with the clamp, if you were able to take the shears apart, before you attempt to. I used it on a 16" buck knife and a 21" short sword with amazing results.

I would advise against it. It is not designed for swords. Small to medium size folding knives and/or fixed blades, this sharpener works well.

I have the sheath your looking at, Its a great sheath, not sure if it will work with a larger knife, there is a kydex/plastic liner that holds the blade. May not be forgiving enough to allow the larger blade, while there is a (little) wiggle room with my K-Bar you may have to work your blade in and out a bit (maybe with a little frog-lube or something) to get it to work. For the short money the K-Bar sheath costs, I would give it a shot. You can always sell it on Amazon if it doesn't work

It is made for the knife and is very, very tight. You should stretch it first.

no it can not....it is made for kitchen knives.....honestly i would never buy this product again, its too small for my hand(I have size XL hands)
